Default Blc. Ports of Paradise 'Emerald Isle' FCC/AOS in bloom

Here is my latest orchid in bloom. The 3rd bud opened yesterday. I can't take the credit for blooming this as I bought it while it had a large bloom sheath. But I can enjoy it

Thanks. It has quite a nice scent too! real nice lime green flowers. I think the photo is fairly true to the colour.

Very beautiful and clever the way you were able to hide the stake!

Thanks shadytrake! I just found out it won a blue ribbon!

It went to the Foothills Orchid Show in Calgary Alberta and was judged best cattleya overall!!

I haven't had it real long so don't get much credit, but I did have it before the buds opened and arranged them to look nice! so I am claiming a bit of credit
